Morningstar Category and Style Box

Yahoo partners with Morningstar--a leading market research and investment data group--to help investors rate and compare funds on Yahoo Finance.

About the Category and Style Box

On the Yahoo Finance "Profile" page of mutual funds and ETFs, the Morningstar Category is shown above the Morningstar Style Box (like ESMYX's category of "Europe Stock" and Style of "Small Blend"). These identify a fund's investment focus, based on the underlying securities in the fund.
